Thanks for the detailed install description. It's nice to know that the swap is that simple. I knew the drag racing guys were swapping out rear V6 brakes on their SS's to fit 16" drag tires but wondered how the swap would go in reverse!

A little help - I am about to order the SS Brembo Calipers from Chris, the Stillen Slotted & Drilled rotors, Hawk Cermaic pads and Goodridge Stainless Steel brake lines from Charlie at Stillen - I know these will fit the 20" RS rims but what to be sure my winter rims - Sport Edition ST4s will work OK with the SS Brembos - they're 20"x8.5", 34mm off-set, and 6.18" back-spacing. You guys see any issue with the winter rims? Thanks.

Getting a hold of Chris at Fessler is like pulling teeth, been trying since you posted this reply. Can you tell me what comes with the set. Is it just the calipers, pads, rotars, and brake line??? Any info would be great, as I plan on upgrading the rotars, pads, and brake lines anyway, I was just wondering if it would be cheaper just to buy the items direct brand new as I can get all four calipers for $360 plus s/h

He may not have any left, my kit arrived yesterday. It comes with front and rear rotors, plus all four calipers with brake lines.

Anything I'm missing? I'm having ECS here in NJ do the install so I don't want to have them tell me I'm missing any parts required. Thanks...

Looks like everything you listed is all you need they can use the factory bolts you should be good to go. When they go to install the rear rotors they will need to trim the backing plate (to replace it is a PITA).

I ordered the rotors, calipers, lines and pads from fesler for $500 plus shipping. Had everything installed yesterday and the mechanic told me everything looked brand new. They were used but probably less than 100 miles according to him. I think tally for all the items above is going to be quite a bit higher. Good luck getting a hold of the goodridge brake lines, I waited a month, they are still at least 3 weeks out, so i gave up and cancelled the order. Did the install with the original v8 lines and I am loving the difference.

Thanks for the info. I am on a waiting list at Fesler for the Brembos. I don't know how long it will take to be able to get the parts. I am just looking at other options until i hear from Fesler.

Its been a long time since I have posted but this is something I cannot pass up as I believe it is a good mod to do.

I couldn't get through to Chris at Fessler either, which in turn worked out better I believe. As I found http://www.thepowdercoater.com Talk with Mike he is one of the best guys to do business with very prompt with his emails as well. Anyway he gave me a good deal and he picked up all four brakes for me already. Plus he has a massive selection of powder coating colors including RJT aka Montery Red for you Corvette guys. For those who plan on doing this mod and going to put on a different rotor, pads and line I would not go with Fessler as you will be better off buying the items seperatly and Mike will give you a great deal.

Also for those who do not want to trim the back brake plate you can get these two items as well.
